I was in CryOut/ActUp in Pittsburgh and Wuerl was instramental in stopping our first attempt at adding sexual orientation to the non-discrimination policy for the city..<br />the second time we did it, we sent a former priest to the Bishops office with pictures of Wuerl at a gay bar from his seminary days... we had no problems from him that time.<br />perhaps it is time to haul those pictures out again.Womyn2me@aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850096231666604.post-81851033700134754202009-10-17T12:33:11.649-07:002009-10-17T12:33:11.649-07:00The liberal Catholics are leaving.

In other words, the bishop is obliged to provide support, financial and otherwise. A secular attorney is possibly not aware of this but an advocate, a canon lawyer representing you should be arguing the case and, ultimately, the bishop hasn't got a leg to stand on. Not even Rome could argue that his vindictiveness is justified. Of course, it may not be your desire to engage with an institution that is so far from mirroring the teachings of Christ.Gwardamangiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17633757318535154306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850096231666604.post-91806529906960622062009-10-12T18:53:06.923-07:002009-10-12T18:53:06.923-07:00I am with Sebastian here.

I cannot believe the pettiness and the nastiness. And this Archbishop Wuerl was placed in charge of ministry to homomsexuals when he was in Seattle? What did he do there to help gay people? It really upsets me to read stuff like this. When are they going to treat us like human beings?Mareczkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13122584421854834046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850096231666604.post-45752637076379839672009-10-11T11:57:44.095-07:002009-10-11T11:57:44.095-07:00May the force be with you!

If so, could you please post it, or link to it? It is not on the Archdiocesan website, as far as I can tell, but I cannot access the "for priests only" section. I am a priest, but not of the Archdiocese.<br /><br />Wuerl has permitted Communion to be given to pro-abortion politicians. How in the name of all that is holy can he now decree that priests ought not give Communion to those who support legal equality for gays?Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187627097284114180noreply@blogger.com
